1 FOOTFALL11 Style Mile Footfall

The Style Mile footfall monitor is based on Springboardrsquos Customer Counting and Measurement system that registers footfall at designated counters located throughout the Style Mile These four counters are located at

Buchanan Street at Kiehlrsquos Buchanan Street at GalleriesArgyle Street at Debenhams Sauchiehall Street at Marks and Spencer

Table 1a5 below shows data collated from these counters from January 2011 - December 2014 Springboard counters record footfall over each 24 - hour period and register both day and night time economy

For period July to December 2014 there has been an average increase recorded of 270 across all counters against the same period in 2013 Buchanan Street precinct (at Kiehlrsquos) performed the best with an average increase of 647

Nitezone footfall

Table 1d 8 illustrates comparative Nitezone footfall figures from January 2011 - December 2014 The figures (relating to Gordon Street Sauchiehall Street and Albion Street within the Merchant City) are collated by taxi marshals who are present at the designated taxi pick up points between 10pm and 5am every Friday and Saturday night They ensure the efficient safe exit out of the city for users of the night-time economy

Whilst the Nitezone footfall figures are collated on a weekly basis Table 1d represents this data on a total-per-month basis This allows for easier identification of developing trends In this way average footfall figures recorded in Gordon Street and Sauchiehall Street appear to have stabilised since mid-2012 Albion Street figures have remained stable throughout The total Nitezone footfall recorded over all three-city centre precincts for the period July to December 2014 was 3249 greater than the figures recorded for the corresponding period in 2013 Overall the figures for the whole of 2014 were the strongest since 2011 and represent an increase of 2182 against all of 2013 In particular October 2014 was the strongest month ever recorded

ATCM-Springboard collates the Night Time Economy Index9 that measures the UKrsquos high street footfall during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am The UK national average annual percent change for period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 showed a slight fall of -217 Scotland has been less negatively impacted with a Scottish national average change of -050 for the same report

Glasgowrsquos figures are based on the footfall recorded by the Style Mile counters during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am It should be noted that whilst this reporting provides some basic benchmarking due to the placement of the footfall counters involved it does not best represent the true Night Time Economy footfall which is largely located elsewhere

Table 1e10 shows the Night Time figures for Glasgow Style Mile from January 2011 to end of June 2014 A comparison of the period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 shows that Glasgowrsquos performance was poorer for every month The sole exception was July 2014 which was the strongest July on record Conversely September 2014 was the poorest September on record

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

Bus Station Footfall

Table 1h13 illustrates the footfall at Buchanan Bus Station Total footfall recorded at this location between July and December 2014 showed an increase of 110 against the figures recorded for the same periods in 2013 Total footfall recorded at Buchanan Bus Station over the whole of 2014 showed an increase of 074 when compared against the figures recorded through all of 2013 The Commonwealth Games would have contributed to the increase in footfall in July and August 2014

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

Please note that the data comprising the number of daily entries for each city centre car park operated by City Parking (Glasgow) LLP is no longer available for the purposes of this document As a result no updates to previous graphs (Table 4a) can be provided and this element will no longer feature in future editions of the City Centre Economic Healthcheck

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

52 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Community Safety Glasgow monitors various quarterly performance indicators relating to crime and antisocial behaviour19 Below is a sample of these indicators relevant to the city centre from January 2013 to December 2014 From April 2012 the data has been collected by local authority ward rather than a larger area that had previously incorporated Partick West and Hillhead

53 Crime and antisocial behaviour

Due to operational changes within Police Scotland the data normally supplied for Table 5c (ie data on crime incidents and antisocial behaviour (ASB) for the period covered by this Healthcheck and the same 6-month period last year) is unavailable for this edition of the Healthcheck document

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

1 FOOTFALL11 Style Mile Footfall

The Style Mile footfall monitor is based on Springboardrsquos Customer Counting and Measurement system that registers footfall at designated counters located throughout the Style Mile These four counters are located at

Buchanan Street at Kiehlrsquos Buchanan Street at GalleriesArgyle Street at Debenhams Sauchiehall Street at Marks and Spencer

Table 1a5 below shows data collated from these counters from January 2011 - December 2014 Springboard counters record footfall over each 24 - hour period and register both day and night time economy

For period July to December 2014 there has been an average increase recorded of 270 across all counters against the same period in 2013 Buchanan Street precinct (at Kiehlrsquos) performed the best with an average increase of 647

Nitezone footfall

Table 1d 8 illustrates comparative Nitezone footfall figures from January 2011 - December 2014 The figures (relating to Gordon Street Sauchiehall Street and Albion Street within the Merchant City) are collated by taxi marshals who are present at the designated taxi pick up points between 10pm and 5am every Friday and Saturday night They ensure the efficient safe exit out of the city for users of the night-time economy

Whilst the Nitezone footfall figures are collated on a weekly basis Table 1d represents this data on a total-per-month basis This allows for easier identification of developing trends In this way average footfall figures recorded in Gordon Street and Sauchiehall Street appear to have stabilised since mid-2012 Albion Street figures have remained stable throughout The total Nitezone footfall recorded over all three-city centre precincts for the period July to December 2014 was 3249 greater than the figures recorded for the corresponding period in 2013 Overall the figures for the whole of 2014 were the strongest since 2011 and represent an increase of 2182 against all of 2013 In particular October 2014 was the strongest month ever recorded

ATCM-Springboard collates the Night Time Economy Index9 that measures the UKrsquos high street footfall during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am The UK national average annual percent change for period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 showed a slight fall of -217 Scotland has been less negatively impacted with a Scottish national average change of -050 for the same report

Glasgowrsquos figures are based on the footfall recorded by the Style Mile counters during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am It should be noted that whilst this reporting provides some basic benchmarking due to the placement of the footfall counters involved it does not best represent the true Night Time Economy footfall which is largely located elsewhere

Table 1e10 shows the Night Time figures for Glasgow Style Mile from January 2011 to end of June 2014 A comparison of the period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 shows that Glasgowrsquos performance was poorer for every month The sole exception was July 2014 which was the strongest July on record Conversely September 2014 was the poorest September on record

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

Please note that the data comprising the number of daily entries for each city centre car park operated by City Parking (Glasgow) LLP is no longer available for the purposes of this document As a result no updates to previous graphs (Table 4a) can be provided and this element will no longer feature in future editions of the City Centre Economic Healthcheck

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

Table 1a5 below shows data collated from these counters from January 2011 - December 2014 Springboard counters record footfall over each 24 - hour period and register both day and night time economy

For period July to December 2014 there has been an average increase recorded of 270 across all counters against the same period in 2013 Buchanan Street precinct (at Kiehlrsquos) performed the best with an average increase of 647

Nitezone footfall

Table 1d 8 illustrates comparative Nitezone footfall figures from January 2011 - December 2014 The figures (relating to Gordon Street Sauchiehall Street and Albion Street within the Merchant City) are collated by taxi marshals who are present at the designated taxi pick up points between 10pm and 5am every Friday and Saturday night They ensure the efficient safe exit out of the city for users of the night-time economy

Whilst the Nitezone footfall figures are collated on a weekly basis Table 1d represents this data on a total-per-month basis This allows for easier identification of developing trends In this way average footfall figures recorded in Gordon Street and Sauchiehall Street appear to have stabilised since mid-2012 Albion Street figures have remained stable throughout The total Nitezone footfall recorded over all three-city centre precincts for the period July to December 2014 was 3249 greater than the figures recorded for the corresponding period in 2013 Overall the figures for the whole of 2014 were the strongest since 2011 and represent an increase of 2182 against all of 2013 In particular October 2014 was the strongest month ever recorded

ATCM-Springboard collates the Night Time Economy Index9 that measures the UKrsquos high street footfall during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am The UK national average annual percent change for period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 showed a slight fall of -217 Scotland has been less negatively impacted with a Scottish national average change of -050 for the same report

Glasgowrsquos figures are based on the footfall recorded by the Style Mile counters during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am It should be noted that whilst this reporting provides some basic benchmarking due to the placement of the footfall counters involved it does not best represent the true Night Time Economy footfall which is largely located elsewhere

Table 1e10 shows the Night Time figures for Glasgow Style Mile from January 2011 to end of June 2014 A comparison of the period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 shows that Glasgowrsquos performance was poorer for every month The sole exception was July 2014 which was the strongest July on record Conversely September 2014 was the poorest September on record

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

Please note that the data comprising the number of daily entries for each city centre car park operated by City Parking (Glasgow) LLP is no longer available for the purposes of this document As a result no updates to previous graphs (Table 4a) can be provided and this element will no longer feature in future editions of the City Centre Economic Healthcheck

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

Nitezone footfall

Table 1d 8 illustrates comparative Nitezone footfall figures from January 2011 - December 2014 The figures (relating to Gordon Street Sauchiehall Street and Albion Street within the Merchant City) are collated by taxi marshals who are present at the designated taxi pick up points between 10pm and 5am every Friday and Saturday night They ensure the efficient safe exit out of the city for users of the night-time economy

Whilst the Nitezone footfall figures are collated on a weekly basis Table 1d represents this data on a total-per-month basis This allows for easier identification of developing trends In this way average footfall figures recorded in Gordon Street and Sauchiehall Street appear to have stabilised since mid-2012 Albion Street figures have remained stable throughout The total Nitezone footfall recorded over all three-city centre precincts for the period July to December 2014 was 3249 greater than the figures recorded for the corresponding period in 2013 Overall the figures for the whole of 2014 were the strongest since 2011 and represent an increase of 2182 against all of 2013 In particular October 2014 was the strongest month ever recorded

ATCM-Springboard collates the Night Time Economy Index9 that measures the UKrsquos high street footfall during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am The UK national average annual percent change for period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 showed a slight fall of -217 Scotland has been less negatively impacted with a Scottish national average change of -050 for the same report

Glasgowrsquos figures are based on the footfall recorded by the Style Mile counters during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am It should be noted that whilst this reporting provides some basic benchmarking due to the placement of the footfall counters involved it does not best represent the true Night Time Economy footfall which is largely located elsewhere

Table 1e10 shows the Night Time figures for Glasgow Style Mile from January 2011 to end of June 2014 A comparison of the period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 shows that Glasgowrsquos performance was poorer for every month The sole exception was July 2014 which was the strongest July on record Conversely September 2014 was the poorest September on record

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

Bus Station Footfall

Table 1h13 illustrates the footfall at Buchanan Bus Station Total footfall recorded at this location between July and December 2014 showed an increase of 110 against the figures recorded for the same periods in 2013 Total footfall recorded at Buchanan Bus Station over the whole of 2014 showed an increase of 074 when compared against the figures recorded through all of 2013 The Commonwealth Games would have contributed to the increase in footfall in July and August 2014

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

Please note that the data comprising the number of daily entries for each city centre car park operated by City Parking (Glasgow) LLP is no longer available for the purposes of this document As a result no updates to previous graphs (Table 4a) can be provided and this element will no longer feature in future editions of the City Centre Economic Healthcheck

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

Community Safety Glasgow monitors various quarterly performance indicators relating to crime and antisocial behaviour19 Below is a sample of these indicators relevant to the city centre from January 2013 to December 2014 From April 2012 the data has been collected by local authority ward rather than a larger area that had previously incorporated Partick West and Hillhead

53 Crime and antisocial behaviour

Due to operational changes within Police Scotland the data normally supplied for Table 5c (ie data on crime incidents and antisocial behaviour (ASB) for the period covered by this Healthcheck and the same 6-month period last year) is unavailable for this edition of the Healthcheck document

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

73 Glasgow International Airport Passenger Numbers

Glasgow International Airport operates 365 days a year 24 hours a day and deals with approximately 74 million passengers a year generating almost pound200 million annually to the economy25 Further snapshot facts and figures on the airport can be accessed via the following link

wwwglasgowairportcomabout-usfacts-and-figures

Table 7c26 illustrates Glasgow Airportrsquos total passenger numbers and how they compare to an average taken of other cities27 The figures cover the period January 2010 ndash December 2014 and relate to the number of terminal passengers recorded by the Civil Aviation Authority Glasgow Airport and its comparators tend to demonstrate the same yearly trends

Comparing the second half of 2014 against the second half of 2013 Glasgow Airport demonstrated a 512 increase in average monthly passenger numbers An overall comparison of 2014 against 2013 reveals a 478 increase in average monthly passenger numbers In the same year on year comparisons UK comparator cities showed an increase of 480 and 457 in average monthly passenger numbers respectively

Nitezone footfall

Table 1d 8 illustrates comparative Nitezone footfall figures from January 2011 - December 2014 The figures (relating to Gordon Street Sauchiehall Street and Albion Street within the Merchant City) are collated by taxi marshals who are present at the designated taxi pick up points between 10pm and 5am every Friday and Saturday night They ensure the efficient safe exit out of the city for users of the night-time economy

Whilst the Nitezone footfall figures are collated on a weekly basis Table 1d represents this data on a total-per-month basis This allows for easier identification of developing trends In this way average footfall figures recorded in Gordon Street and Sauchiehall Street appear to have stabilised since mid-2012 Albion Street figures have remained stable throughout The total Nitezone footfall recorded over all three-city centre precincts for the period July to December 2014 was 3249 greater than the figures recorded for the corresponding period in 2013 Overall the figures for the whole of 2014 were the strongest since 2011 and represent an increase of 2182 against all of 2013 In particular October 2014 was the strongest month ever recorded

ATCM-Springboard collates the Night Time Economy Index9 that measures the UKrsquos high street footfall during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am The UK national average annual percent change for period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 showed a slight fall of -217 Scotland has been less negatively impacted with a Scottish national average change of -050 for the same report

Glasgowrsquos figures are based on the footfall recorded by the Style Mile counters during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am It should be noted that whilst this reporting provides some basic benchmarking due to the placement of the footfall counters involved it does not best represent the true Night Time Economy footfall which is largely located elsewhere

Table 1e10 shows the Night Time figures for Glasgow Style Mile from January 2011 to end of June 2014 A comparison of the period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 shows that Glasgowrsquos performance was poorer for every month The sole exception was July 2014 which was the strongest July on record Conversely September 2014 was the poorest September on record

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

Please note that the data comprising the number of daily entries for each city centre car park operated by City Parking (Glasgow) LLP is no longer available for the purposes of this document As a result no updates to previous graphs (Table 4a) can be provided and this element will no longer feature in future editions of the City Centre Economic Healthcheck

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

Buchanan Street at Kiehlrsquos Buchanan Street at GalleriesArgyle Street at Debenhams Sauchiehall Street at Marks and Spencer

Table 1a5 below shows data collated from these counters from January 2011 - December 2014 Springboard counters record footfall over each 24 - hour period and register both day and night time economy

For period July to December 2014 there has been an average increase recorded of 270 across all counters against the same period in 2013 Buchanan Street precinct (at Kiehlrsquos) performed the best with an average increase of 647

Nitezone footfall

Table 1d 8 illustrates comparative Nitezone footfall figures from January 2011 - December 2014 The figures (relating to Gordon Street Sauchiehall Street and Albion Street within the Merchant City) are collated by taxi marshals who are present at the designated taxi pick up points between 10pm and 5am every Friday and Saturday night They ensure the efficient safe exit out of the city for users of the night-time economy

Whilst the Nitezone footfall figures are collated on a weekly basis Table 1d represents this data on a total-per-month basis This allows for easier identification of developing trends In this way average footfall figures recorded in Gordon Street and Sauchiehall Street appear to have stabilised since mid-2012 Albion Street figures have remained stable throughout The total Nitezone footfall recorded over all three-city centre precincts for the period July to December 2014 was 3249 greater than the figures recorded for the corresponding period in 2013 Overall the figures for the whole of 2014 were the strongest since 2011 and represent an increase of 2182 against all of 2013 In particular October 2014 was the strongest month ever recorded

ATCM-Springboard collates the Night Time Economy Index9 that measures the UKrsquos high street footfall during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am The UK national average annual percent change for period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 showed a slight fall of -217 Scotland has been less negatively impacted with a Scottish national average change of -050 for the same report

Glasgowrsquos figures are based on the footfall recorded by the Style Mile counters during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am It should be noted that whilst this reporting provides some basic benchmarking due to the placement of the footfall counters involved it does not best represent the true Night Time Economy footfall which is largely located elsewhere

Table 1e10 shows the Night Time figures for Glasgow Style Mile from January 2011 to end of June 2014 A comparison of the period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 shows that Glasgowrsquos performance was poorer for every month The sole exception was July 2014 which was the strongest July on record Conversely September 2014 was the poorest September on record

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

Nitezone footfall

Table 1d 8 illustrates comparative Nitezone footfall figures from January 2011 - December 2014 The figures (relating to Gordon Street Sauchiehall Street and Albion Street within the Merchant City) are collated by taxi marshals who are present at the designated taxi pick up points between 10pm and 5am every Friday and Saturday night They ensure the efficient safe exit out of the city for users of the night-time economy

Whilst the Nitezone footfall figures are collated on a weekly basis Table 1d represents this data on a total-per-month basis This allows for easier identification of developing trends In this way average footfall figures recorded in Gordon Street and Sauchiehall Street appear to have stabilised since mid-2012 Albion Street figures have remained stable throughout The total Nitezone footfall recorded over all three-city centre precincts for the period July to December 2014 was 3249 greater than the figures recorded for the corresponding period in 2013 Overall the figures for the whole of 2014 were the strongest since 2011 and represent an increase of 2182 against all of 2013 In particular October 2014 was the strongest month ever recorded

ATCM-Springboard collates the Night Time Economy Index9 that measures the UKrsquos high street footfall during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am The UK national average annual percent change for period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 showed a slight fall of -217 Scotland has been less negatively impacted with a Scottish national average change of -050 for the same report

Glasgowrsquos figures are based on the footfall recorded by the Style Mile counters during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am It should be noted that whilst this reporting provides some basic benchmarking due to the placement of the footfall counters involved it does not best represent the true Night Time Economy footfall which is largely located elsewhere

Table 1e10 shows the Night Time figures for Glasgow Style Mile from January 2011 to end of June 2014 A comparison of the period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 shows that Glasgowrsquos performance was poorer for every month The sole exception was July 2014 which was the strongest July on record Conversely September 2014 was the poorest September on record

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

Bus Station Footfall

Table 1h13 illustrates the footfall at Buchanan Bus Station Total footfall recorded at this location between July and December 2014 showed an increase of 110 against the figures recorded for the same periods in 2013 Total footfall recorded at Buchanan Bus Station over the whole of 2014 showed an increase of 074 when compared against the figures recorded through all of 2013 The Commonwealth Games would have contributed to the increase in footfall in July and August 2014

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

Nitezone footfall

Table 1d 8 illustrates comparative Nitezone footfall figures from January 2011 - December 2014 The figures (relating to Gordon Street Sauchiehall Street and Albion Street within the Merchant City) are collated by taxi marshals who are present at the designated taxi pick up points between 10pm and 5am every Friday and Saturday night They ensure the efficient safe exit out of the city for users of the night-time economy

Whilst the Nitezone footfall figures are collated on a weekly basis Table 1d represents this data on a total-per-month basis This allows for easier identification of developing trends In this way average footfall figures recorded in Gordon Street and Sauchiehall Street appear to have stabilised since mid-2012 Albion Street figures have remained stable throughout The total Nitezone footfall recorded over all three-city centre precincts for the period July to December 2014 was 3249 greater than the figures recorded for the corresponding period in 2013 Overall the figures for the whole of 2014 were the strongest since 2011 and represent an increase of 2182 against all of 2013 In particular October 2014 was the strongest month ever recorded

ATCM-Springboard collates the Night Time Economy Index9 that measures the UKrsquos high street footfall during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am The UK national average annual percent change for period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 showed a slight fall of -217 Scotland has been less negatively impacted with a Scottish national average change of -050 for the same report

Glasgowrsquos figures are based on the footfall recorded by the Style Mile counters during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am It should be noted that whilst this reporting provides some basic benchmarking due to the placement of the footfall counters involved it does not best represent the true Night Time Economy footfall which is largely located elsewhere

Table 1e10 shows the Night Time figures for Glasgow Style Mile from January 2011 to end of June 2014 A comparison of the period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 shows that Glasgowrsquos performance was poorer for every month The sole exception was July 2014 which was the strongest July on record Conversely September 2014 was the poorest September on record

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

Please note that the data comprising the number of daily entries for each city centre car park operated by City Parking (Glasgow) LLP is no longer available for the purposes of this document As a result no updates to previous graphs (Table 4a) can be provided and this element will no longer feature in future editions of the City Centre Economic Healthcheck

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

Nitezone footfall

Table 1d 8 illustrates comparative Nitezone footfall figures from January 2011 - December 2014 The figures (relating to Gordon Street Sauchiehall Street and Albion Street within the Merchant City) are collated by taxi marshals who are present at the designated taxi pick up points between 10pm and 5am every Friday and Saturday night They ensure the efficient safe exit out of the city for users of the night-time economy

Whilst the Nitezone footfall figures are collated on a weekly basis Table 1d represents this data on a total-per-month basis This allows for easier identification of developing trends In this way average footfall figures recorded in Gordon Street and Sauchiehall Street appear to have stabilised since mid-2012 Albion Street figures have remained stable throughout The total Nitezone footfall recorded over all three-city centre precincts for the period July to December 2014 was 3249 greater than the figures recorded for the corresponding period in 2013 Overall the figures for the whole of 2014 were the strongest since 2011 and represent an increase of 2182 against all of 2013 In particular October 2014 was the strongest month ever recorded

ATCM-Springboard collates the Night Time Economy Index9 that measures the UKrsquos high street footfall during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am The UK national average annual percent change for period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 showed a slight fall of -217 Scotland has been less negatively impacted with a Scottish national average change of -050 for the same report

Glasgowrsquos figures are based on the footfall recorded by the Style Mile counters during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am It should be noted that whilst this reporting provides some basic benchmarking due to the placement of the footfall counters involved it does not best represent the true Night Time Economy footfall which is largely located elsewhere

Table 1e10 shows the Night Time figures for Glasgow Style Mile from January 2011 to end of June 2014 A comparison of the period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 shows that Glasgowrsquos performance was poorer for every month The sole exception was July 2014 which was the strongest July on record Conversely September 2014 was the poorest September on record

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

Table 1h13 illustrates the footfall at Buchanan Bus Station Total footfall recorded at this location between July and December 2014 showed an increase of 110 against the figures recorded for the same periods in 2013 Total footfall recorded at Buchanan Bus Station over the whole of 2014 showed an increase of 074 when compared against the figures recorded through all of 2013 The Commonwealth Games would have contributed to the increase in footfall in July and August 2014

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

The average resultsper period comparison table is shown below

ATCM-Springboard collates the Night Time Economy Index9 that measures the UKrsquos high street footfall during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am The UK national average annual percent change for period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 showed a slight fall of -217 Scotland has been less negatively impacted with a Scottish national average change of -050 for the same report

Glasgowrsquos figures are based on the footfall recorded by the Style Mile counters during the hours of 6pm ndash 4am It should be noted that whilst this reporting provides some basic benchmarking due to the placement of the footfall counters involved it does not best represent the true Night Time Economy footfall which is largely located elsewhere

Table 1e10 shows the Night Time figures for Glasgow Style Mile from January 2011 to end of June 2014 A comparison of the period July to December 2014 against the same period in 2013 shows that Glasgowrsquos performance was poorer for every month The sole exception was July 2014 which was the strongest July on record Conversely September 2014 was the poorest September on record

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

Please note that the data comprising the number of daily entries for each city centre car park operated by City Parking (Glasgow) LLP is no longer available for the purposes of this document As a result no updates to previous graphs (Table 4a) can be provided and this element will no longer feature in future editions of the City Centre Economic Healthcheck

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

12 SPT Footfall Subway Footfall

SPT have thirteen reporting periods in which they collate Subway footfall data based on numbers boarding (going through the barrier) From 201213 figures have been aligned to a set of 4-weekly traffic return dates whereas previous years reported on a 13 period basis along financial accounting periods For example period 1 for 201415 in the graph below represents the 4 weekly period ending 19 April 2014

Table 1f11 shows the footfall recorded for each reporting period from 200910 onwards This edition of the Healthcheck looks at data collected over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 The graph clearly shows greater-than-normal usage numbers for reporting period 5 due to the occurrence of the Commonwealth Games Despite this lsquospikersquo total footfall recorded over reporting periods 4 to 10 in 201415 fell by 158 at St Enoch Subway station when compared against the same periods in 201314 However please note that St Enoch Subway station was for a considerable part of the reported periods noted above subject to a refurbishment programme which might have given a slight variation in the footfall figures there being down compared with the footfall figures for Buchanan Street Subway station which displayed an increase over the same reporting periods

Bus Station Footfall

Table 1h13 illustrates the footfall at Buchanan Bus Station Total footfall recorded at this location between July and December 2014 showed an increase of 110 against the figures recorded for the same periods in 2013 Total footfall recorded at Buchanan Bus Station over the whole of 2014 showed an increase of 074 when compared against the figures recorded through all of 2013 The Commonwealth Games would have contributed to the increase in footfall in July and August 2014

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

Please note that the data comprising the number of daily entries for each city centre car park operated by City Parking (Glasgow) LLP is no longer available for the purposes of this document As a result no updates to previous graphs (Table 4a) can be provided and this element will no longer feature in future editions of the City Centre Economic Healthcheck

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

2 VACANT SITES (STYLE MILE)

Table 2a14 illustrates the city centrersquos ground floor vacant unit trend since July 2012 and compares this data against the same figures recorded for other UK comparators15 In general the Glasgow report is updated every second month whilst the UK data is reported every quarter The Glasgow data is a record of the number of vacant units at street level and includes Class 1 (shops) Class 2 (financial professional and other services ndash eg banks Class 3 (food and drink ndash eg cafes and restaurants) and Sui Generis (not in any ldquouse classrdquo eg pub or hot food takeaways) It does not include vacant units within shopping centres The UK data is gathered in towns and cities via an online survey of online managers in 450 locations throughout the UK The vacancy rate is defined as the percentage of the ground floor units in the town centre that are vacant and a vacant unit is regarded as one which is not trading at the time of the survey (whether or not it is let)

Since the beginning of 2012 the percentage of vacant units has remained relatively stable The average annual percentage of vacant units for the period of January 2014 to November 2014 is currently 91 The average annual percentage of vacant units for the same comparison period in 2013 was 82 While this represents a slight year on year increase the Glasgow city centre rate is still and has been consistently lower than the other UK comparator rates

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

3 VACANT SITES (CITY CENTRE)

Table 3a17 provides details of vacant and derelict sites within Glasgow city centre The pie-chart represents 1032ha of vacant and derelict land across 31 sites within the city centre area bounded by the M8 High Street and the River Clyde

As indicated the majority of sites are privately owned Their potential land use is varied from residential to office retail civic and mixed use The majority of sites appear to have had planning consents granted or are in the process of undertaking pre-application work A number of sites have a temporary use predominantly car parking and various others have been temporarily landscaped Development on these sites can be slow because of the nature scale and complexity of vacant sites as well as the impact of the global economic environment

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS AND CITY CENTRE INFORMATION51 Street Cleanliness

Clean Glasgow was launched by Glasgow City Council in February 2007 and this body commissioned independent street cleanliness surveys of the city centre which have been undertaken by the national environment agency Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) Whilst the annual city centre survey was not repeated in November 2013 the City Centre Regeneration team commissioned a renewal of this report for November 2014 with a view to maintaining this process going forward

The area surveyed consists of approximately 166 street sites (transects) and the survey reflects the standard of cleanliness of these areas achieved at the time of the survey and assessed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and its attendant Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Scotland) 2006 Criteria assessed include the general standard of cleanliness sources of litter types of litter and adverse environmental quality indicators Each transect is graded (from A to D) with each grade worth a requisite number of points The overall city centre Cleanliness Index (CI) is then a reflection of the total points scored as a percentage of the total possible points available

The CI score for 2014 was 64 However it should also be noted that the KSB audit found that 93 of all transects surveyed were found to be of an acceptable standard (ie Grade A B or B+)

The overall CI scores for the city centre surveys undertaken to date are as follow

As part of the independent surveys they conduct KSB also report on various aspects of street cleanliness including Adverse Environmental Quality Indicators (AEQIs) ie common issues affecting the local environment within communities This data has been collated in Table 5a below

The Keep Scotland Beautiful annual survey results for Glasgow city-wide cleanliness are shown in Table 5b as below Please note that the methodology involved in the surveys for the year 201415 has changed As a result of this the results have still to be confirmed

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made

72 Tourist Surveys

Around 400 people are surveyed per quarter by Lynn Jones Forecasting using the Visitract online survey system E-mail addresses are taken from visitors who are then sent an online questionnaire These addresses are captured from various locations throughout the city though tend to be around the city centre and west end due to the majority of visitor attractions being located in these areas ndash therefore results are not city centre only

A score of less than 8 suggests that improvements should be made
